Adaptive Arrays
Keywords:
Adaptive ArraysAbstract
This paper presents some types of adaptive antennas and the historical development of adaptive antennas. It explains some of the common algorithms associated with digital beamforming then presents techniques for adaptation using conventional arrays with corporate feeds, including the use of reconfigurable antenna elements.
